Obama supporters bow their heads after President Obama called for a moment of silence for the victims of the Aurora, Colo., shootings at what was scheduled as a campaign event at Harborside Event Center in Fort Myers, Fla., on Friday.

“There are going to be other days for politics. This is a day, I think, for prayers and reflection,” the president told the crowd which had gathered in anticipation of a campaign rally, The Post’s David Nakamura reported.

“We may never understand whatever leads anyone to terrorize their fellow human beings … we do know what makes life worth living,” the president said before leading the crowd in Florida in a moment of silence.

“I hope all of you will keep the people of Aurora in your hearts and minds today,” the president said. “May the Lord bring them comfort and healing in the hard days to come. … I hope that as a consequence of today’s events, as you leave here, you spend a little time thinking about the incredible blessings that God has given us.”

He remarked about grief and the helplessness victims, their families and the Aurora community must feel, adding, “But there is something we can do. We can offer comfort to someone near us who is suffering or heavy-laden. And we can mourn with those who mourn in Colorado.”

“Romney has not been known to throw out LDS references in his speeches, though has noted Bible passages before. (h/t to Daniel Burton.),” Stack wrote. “In fact, ‘mourn with those who mourn’ can also be found in the New International Version of the New Testament in Romans 12:15: ‘Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.’”

Why does the Christian God allow shooters to kill innocent people? God is a horrendous and abject failure for allowing this act of violence, as well as the other deaths he brings about via natural disasters (acts of God), wars, disease, and rhetoric that promotes hate and violence perpetrated by Christian extremists. I hope you truly think about why God would allow a shooter to kill innocent people while you are praying and reflecting on this absolute tragedy.

Well, you see, it’s about the free will of the shooter to shoot and God cannot stop the free will. But then, why did the God not allow my free will not to shot?

My will is weak and my free will is even weaker.

Thus I was excommunicated…

More campaigning on the citizens DOLLARS! The Commander and Chief is the one that made it possible for this too to happen. As one politician said on a news show 7/22/12. “They know what perfume I wear ! I buy it on the internet, Why didn’t they know that!” Why couldn’t they have stopped that? NSA pleasuring themselves listening and watching innocent citizens lives! Who’s responsible for that, Commander and Chief? YOU!
